ON the latter count Der Reichsfeuhrer is, all wet.
"Unconditional surrender" is frozen for the
u! ?r.'r,..i"ird"Ji',-a.?ir iduration, and unless all signs fail will endure to
.the end.
But there is probably something to be said for win
ter as an obstacle to such a blitzkrieg as the allies
have conducted so successfully in France.
For the corner-stone of such strategy is speed-
speed in the air, on the water and on the ground. In
all three departments, winter storms, mud and cold
will reduce the rapidity and continuity of movement.
The defense on the other hand which is static un
til a break comes would be under no such handicap.

Editors mention, without
viewing with alarm, the lack of
war enthusiasm among the peo
ple. They cite as a sign, proud
parents are not naming their
babies after generals and ad
mirals, and war heroes. The
news does not relnte that twin
boys wore named Dwlght Eisen
hower Jones and Chester Nlm
itz Jones. No baby girl has been
christened Georgia Pattun
Brown. This gives one pause.
One wonders how tilings go
with the Nebraska tot, whose
parents named her Nira in their
enthusiasm for the NRA. of
WHAT Hitler is TRYING to do however, and what
he will be ABLE to do are two very different
matters.
The allies are as determined to smash Germany
before winter sets in as Hitler is moving heaven and
earth to prevent it.
The allies moreover have the superior power in
the air, on land and on sea to do it.
SO it all comes down to the time element. How long
is it going to take to bring the Nazis to their
knees?
If Hitler can hold out for 90 days, probably the
war in Europe will go over until spring.
If he cant and as we see it all the chances are
against it the war over there should end as General
Eisenhower predicted, certainly before another New
Year's day comes around, probably before November.
The War vs. Votes
If the war in Europe should end before election
day, how will that effect the vote?
The answer is. all in favor of the Republicans.
In fact there is no doubt, whatever at least, as far !
as this department is concerned that but for the
war, Roosevelt's effort to get a fourth term would
end in complete defeat.
The plain truth is the rank and file of the Ameri
can people don't WANT "four more years of Roose
velt." They have had enough too much in fact. They
are eager for a change and for a rest
AN the other hand however, there is a widespread
feeling, that as long as Mr. Roosevelt was presi
dent when this war started he should have a chance
to finish it. And with the war still on, fallacious
though this reasoning may be basically, this feeling
can't help but mean, thousands hundreds of thou
sands of votes.
With Germany defeated, and Japan the only ob
stacle to the return of longed-for peace, there would
nevertheless, be a decided decline In the strength of
this sentiment.
This decline would mean the transfer of thousands
of votes from the Democratic to the Republican column.
Whether enough to effect the result we shall have
to leave to those experts who know how elections
will go before the votes are counted.
We don't!
Too Much Politics
All men have the defects of their virtues and
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is no exception.
e believe no informed and fair minded person
would deny that F. D. R. is the most astute politician
ever to occupy the White House.
I his has been a great aid to him and a great asset
to his party. For when all is said and done, it takes
political sense political skill to get elected to pub
lic office; and even more to stay there. It is one of
the prices we must pay for democracy.
Washington, Sept. 13. The
Germans have no more than 25
depicted divisions (probably
around 300,000
men), bitterly j
trying to save
their western
borderfrom us.
This is not
enough to

Siegfried line
or any other
kind of line on
the long
stretch from
the Alps to the
sea. If they last
three weeks with what they
have, they will be doing well.
By that time, at least, you should
begin to see evidences of col
lapse or surrender of the troops
in the field, if not of the govern
ment. Their retreat from France was
rather cleverly conceived, or at
least displayed the usual nazi
thoroughness in stubborn, con-

Then, also, we had only one
usable channel port, Cherbourg,
the one we took first, which was
thoroughly demolished (it is now
handling about twice its rather
small peacetime burden). But
Cherbourg fell so far behind our
fast advance force that most of
our supplies had to come in over
the beaches. (A little came in by
air.)

NAZI suicide squads left behind

large ports we wanted most, did !
their work well, not only resist-1
ing us but by demolishing port
facilities to make them unusable
to us for days after capture.
The others, Dieppe, St. Nazarre,
Lorient, Ostend, Dunkirk, Calais,
Caen, do not amount to much
toward supplying our large arm
ies. But the Germans held most
of them throughout our journey
through France and the lowlands.

AT any rate the result of this over-developed politi
cal sense is now apparent in the popular reaction
to the President's recent war activities.
The people have become so accustomed to the
President's playing politics that they can't believe
there was none in his journey to war zones in the
Pacific, and now his conference with Prime Minister
Churchill in Quebec.

F.D.U. doing anything during a campaign, without at
